The A9 chip in the 6S/SE was a huge leap from the A8 in the 6. You will find this A13 incredibly fast, with a much, much better camera, including portrait mode.

Happy to have another intelligent tech user on this forum

This phone is pretty much an iPhone 11 without the double camera, color, and Face ID

Something we won't know until the SE 2020 ships is the RAM. The 8 had 2GB, XR had 3GB and 11 had 4GB. I'm guessing 3GB for future proofing.

True. The guts of the iPhone 11 but the body of an iPhone 8.

Thank you Apple, a new phone is exactly what everyone wants and needs right now

Oh hunny. Apple donated 10m to Lady Gaga for COVID-19. They're still allowed to release phones and maintain their brand

They also donated money to other organisations and their stockpile of PPE. Currently working with Google on a contact tracing app. Apple is doing a lot more than most companies in fighting COVID-19.

It will be not faster than a 399 dollar android phone ( just saying )

 

Just to fact check this, the A13 is, by far the fastest phone processor in the world. For the last 4 years the A chips have significantly outperformed other mobile processors.

It’s called marketing. People sit at home and generally spend more money online than in stores—given that many are closed.  This is a strategic marketing boost for the success and sales of the iPhone SE. If every company had to stop launching products because of the COVID-19 virus, the entire economy would collapse.

Aren't we supposed to avoid non-essential purchases? 

Let's not cry on Apple's fate, please, they're more than fine  They can survive without an iPhone release during the worst of the pandemic.

Fam, just because the world is in chaos, doesn't mean people need to stop living. Lots of people out here still buying gadgets among basic needs. Businesses still to make money to cover their employees salary, mortgage for their shops, and share holders income. That, or they had to majorly fire people out to keep the budget healthy. Either way it is a lose lose situation. Just remember what Gaga says, everyone facing different struggles during this time. You can't fault any brands who decides to keep businesses going amid these pandemic.

Yes I'm sure Apple is struggling

During the worst of the pandemic, tho? When we're all encouraged to avoid non-essential purchases? There's still a thing called decency, guys. They can wait for their traditional Fall releases without going bankrupt, I'm not worried in the slightest for Apple...

Isn't the advice just avoid going out for non-essential purchases lol?

The fall event is still coming for iPhone 12/12 Pro. The previous-generation SE was released in March 2016. The budget phone has always been released halfway through the mid-range/flagship cycle.

I read iPhone South-East

Ask the people over at Amazon who are delighted to risk their lives packing nail polish and sex toys:
